Traditional Japanese room was a fascinating experience. English breakfast is 3 pieces of toast plus a hot drink, not a cooked breakfast as the term might mean in the UK. Overall a good stay

Great hostel in Osaka
Cheap affordable solution if you’re in Osaka. spacious beds and rooms, lots of amenities, Free basic breakfast, clean and easy access to a Subway station. Mattresses are a bit thin though, but that’s with most of the hostels in Japan.

Close to the station
The hostel was near the station so it was easy to find but there are pros and cons this was my first rime staying at a hostel so I didn't have any expectations but still ... Pro - The staffs were nice and even asked me which language I prefer or if I need any help around the city - a lot facilities that you can use - fast wi-fi - I didn't know there was a free breakfast (although it was a light meal I appreciate the effort) - the location was in Higobashi which is a walking distance (one stop by subway) to Nishi-Umeda and Osaka station Cons: -when I got to my room, the room has quite a distinct smell to it. (Maybe because it was a mixed room ) - the other guests where quite loud inside the dormitory talking loud and talking on their phones - I often wake up in the middle of the night due to coldness because some guest put the AC at max temperature - you can hear other guest snore because you are basically only separated with a curtain - i was in 4th floor and my area is a bit dirty I don't think they clean it often because when I came in the 3rd floor the toilet was clean and the shower room has lots of space - I wish the shower room has trash can and a place where you can put your things. I was struggling with my stuff because i didn't knowwhere to put it - the biggest con was the bed itself. It was very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep much.

Stayed in the Wah room, which was perfect for a family of 5. Very spacious. The shared amenities were clean & always available. The indoor garden provided a pleasant distraction. The cafe was very good & reasonably priced. The location was very convenient to transport & the cafes & restaurants nearby were excellent.
